How do you loosen up?

I tend to be a slightly tense person. I'm not a robot, but I do need to loosen up a bit. I was singing this song in rehearsal with this other singer recently and it was an upbeat catchy tune. He was totally loose, really into the song without any inhibitions. He was moving in a really cool away. Whenever I tried to be like that, I either felt I was awkward or silly and I was afraid to really let go.

Any good ways to loosen up? I find a lot of people are much more comfortable than I am, or at least they seem to be. So comfortable people, what's your secret?

Stop caring about what other people think. They're the ones you're afriad of looking stupid in front of. Do what you feel comfortable doing.

Stop caring about what other people think.

 

I agree.

 

Also, I've noticed that when I let go I look less retarded then when I'm holding myself back. I've noticed this for a lot of people.
